An
Ikpoba-Okha Area Customary Court sitting at Idogbo, Benin City has remanded
a 22-year-old man, Cyril Okosun, in
prison for allegedly bathing his girlfriend with acid.
The
accused was alleged to have on April 19, 2013 at Dumez Road in the state
metropolis poured acid on the face and body of the girl after she decided to
quit their relationship.
When
the case came up for mention, yesterday, counsel to the accused, Fidelis
Oriafo, pleaded for his bail which was opposed by Police prosecutor, Inspector Victor Ehiorobo, on the
ground that the victim, Blessing Ikhumuhi, was still in a critical condition at
the UBTH.
President
of the court, Princess Esther Eweka, adjourned the case to July 23, 2013 for
hearing.
